Thyme to see an Americana Rooster

I cut out and painted this rooster weathervane

and

decided to mount it on an old cabinet door

close - up of head

tail feathers

I added a rusty wire garland

with painted stars and rusty bells I rust my own bells

using this recipe

RUST RECIPE

(you can use this to rust pins, bells wirs etc.)

1c peroxide

1c vinegar

3tbls salt

Combine all ingredients in a throw away container or glass.

add bells and let set 1-2 days in mixture.

 the mixture will most likely foam up and come over top of container

so do this on top of someting like a old tray

 Remove items with a slotted spoon

and put on cookie sheet with shallow side,

let sit in sun for day or too, can also dry indoors.

They continue to rust as time goes on.
